One of the robes is described as being "wrapped in butter".
What I want to know is HOW does someone know what that feels like, exactly???? :eek:

Being wrapped in butter isn't all it is cracked up to be. We tried it once and it all got stuck in my....

Oh, um, nevermind! LMAO about Real Sex... I get scared watching that show sometimes!

As far as PC Directorship... PC is the only company in the DSA that has the rule that you can't be a Director and sell for another company. So those in other DS Companies can be the "top position" in that company and still be a consultant for PC.
:)


I have never understood that stipulation in their contract! That's why my husband is the consultant for one & I'm the consultant for another of my 2 favorite companies. I couldn't choose which one I wanted to represent. Now I have the best of both!!
 
Off to bed too. I really need some new sheets though!!!


Good night Girls

And lots of consultants/directors are out there doing just that. Apparently I was wrong about that... it should read "PC is ONE of the only companies...". There are far too many companies to keep up with, but PC is the only one that I'm very familiar with that does this. I'm sure there are more. :)
 
Alison- I had to eat an ice cream sandwich in your honor! I am not in bed, but I finally got Baylor down (I have been typing with one hand while feeding her for the last hour, so that is why each of my posts is 5 posts behind what we were talking about... wait...what?

And Laura- get your facts straight - You are NOT allowed to make mistakes or someone will call you on it. Get your six-shooters ready..

I'm off too, too much excitement for one day. Thanks for your support everyone, seriously you have no idea what yall mean to me. *sappy*;)
 
Night- you red headed bi-otch :D
 
I am one of Laura's consultants and it really makes me mad that someone has the balls to come on here and judge someone else and under a different id. That shows how much of a coward they are. Are they the ones that went to home office? I personally think that this person LuvnPC should be kicked off these boards. You are totally rude and why do you even care what Laura does? And further more she hasn't even signed a contract with someone else. This has just made me even more mad the more I think about it. I love you Laura and wish you the best in whatever you do. I think I speak for a lot of us on here that you are better than this other person and should not have to defend yourself to them.:mad:

Sorry I was a little behind with the rage. I had to stop reading and post a message. I am at work and trying to keep up with Laura and with Paige. So while all of you are going to bed I am up getting all riled up. So I will have to read the continued rampage after I get up tomorrow. Good night.
 
WOW... I get home from a cluster meeting and I am reading a virtual " Days of our lives" unfold..... * shakes head*.... Laura sweetie... your so funny... I am sorry this happen.. and NO you didn't try and recruit me... though I didn't' even PM you about it....and this LuvnPC if you haven't figured out that on here we are not only family BUT we stick up for each other... and if you have nothing better to do than stick your nose in where it really doesn't belong then SHAME on you!!!
I met Laura at conference and she is funny and sweet!!.... and love the conga dance and those boots!!!!SO LUVNPC you just need to take a big deck of cards and JUST DEAL!!!LMAO!!!
 
OMG, I leave for a few hrs and all hell breaks loose. (It took me that long to scrape up the $5 for the "new ID") JK LOL.

Laura, what a nightmare. I am so sorry for you for everything...getting the boot (no pun intended) and for loosing your trip that you undoubtedly earned. I definitely would keep asking questions until you find someone that will either hear you out or at the very least EXPLAIN WHY (without adding the textbook answer).

And from one redhead (at least for the time being :))to another, you must have some awful strong powers to make someone pay another membership and cowardly hide their real identity.

Please don't leave "the family" as previously expressed by many, as your insight to so many things would be missed. Oh and BTW I would love to have you as my first recruit in a year but what I really hope is that you can get this gross misunderstanding reversed and be re-instated. I WILL be contacting you.;)
 
OK- I thought there was a guideline here on CS that you couldn't register 2 IDs for yourself. Which means that LuvnPC has publicly admitted to breaking the rules, something she professes to be a staunch follower of.

I asked Laura about what she was doing privately and she told me without ever trying to recruit me. She stated the facts and referred me to the website for more information about anything. She didn't tell me anything I couldn't find out on my own. Personally, I don't take someone telling me about what a wonderful thing they have started as recruiting; just as I hope people don't take me stating how much I love PC as recruiting. If I want to recruit someone I will flat out invite them to find out more information and meet with me. I'm not saying she didn't try to recruit you, but maybe what she said to you and how you took it was actually different from how she meant it. I don't mean to gripe on you, but I don't like my friends being attacked. If you have an issue with what Laura said to you, that should be something you take up with her personally. There always are 2 sides to every story and I think Laura should have a chance to tell you hers.


Alison~

I agree with you there (and please don't bash me here...perhaps PC sees is differently than we are seeing. Otherwise, their teminating her contract doesn't "fit" with their past actions.)

I really don't want Laura to feel like she is being pushed out of CS. Her intent was not to make anyone feel like they were being pressured! If you asked, she answered. That's what she was told she COULD do, and keep to the letter of her contract!

I haven't even read all of these posts yet this morning...so sorry if I am just "restating" what others may have already posted. I am (trying to) see both sides of the situation here...as well as support someone who is a friend to me!!!

Oh, but don't you know that that doesn't apply to her? She's only doing it to further her holy cause. :rolleyes: :mad:

Ugh. I don't want to see this become another drama-filled incident, but I really hate anonymous "poison pen" behavior. It's juvenile and hurtful.

I asked Laura questions about her future endeavors and she made no effort to recruit me. I'm very sorry she's forced to leave PC, especially if it resulted from the "efforts" of one of us.
 
GourmetGirl said:
sorry laura... doing it right now... and i just did it a few hours ago!!

*PMs cleared*



gilliandanielle said:
Aren't WE popular Miss Alison!!


Apparantly so!

I started to feel a little jealous, since I have NEVER had to clear out my PM's!!!
But then, I realized that I get 200 PM's to store.
(you know, since I am *better* and have a GOLD bar by my name!!)




























(and since it seems like things are getting taken WAY too seriously, I'd better point out that I am kidding about being better than ya'all!)

This is not meant for you; but for the cheffer's who are attacking Pampered Laura and Paige.

Not only should this be a safe board, and fun board as the thread suggests but NEVER to attack another person. Sure you may not always agree, but have the courtesy/decentcy SP to at least PM the person without broadcasting across the board.

Seriously - the secret attack is just silly. We're all adults here. If you want to say something, SAY IT - there i sno need to hide behind a secret username.

Night- you red headed bi-otch :D

My kids think I am nuts sitting here laughing all my myself!

You about killed me with that one!:eek:
 
Pampered Laura said:
Miss Julie, I love you. You know that right? Rips my heart out to lose you... Juuuulieeee, oh juuuulieeee.. this is me serenading you. ;)
(note to that Luv'nPC - that is a JOKE. Julie is a friend of mine and was a friend before I pressured her - oops I mean, recruited her).. LOL

Wait - who is Julie?
Maybe *I* should be blonde?? LOL
 
Carolyn, blonde is a state of mind. So if you want to be blonde, you go right ahead. :)

Are you sure?

You might be, after all. At least, some of us.

Especially alts.
 
Good lord how did this get to 18 pages???? 8 more pages since I went to bed! So now I have to read it all you know........ :)
 
dannyzmom said:
Amen and ditto what Colleen said!!
You can wave any carrot at me that you want, but PC is where I belong!
I repsect anyone's choices to go to other companies if they feel they'll get a better fit there...but for me personally, Pampered Chef is the perfect fit for me and my family...
My sentiments exactly.



I see that there was quite a discussion later down this thread but I wanted to express my agreement here before I lost it.
 
wow you guys had a busy night........let's see, we had an undercover detective "out" a secret recruiting agent for another DSA company, we had name-calling, and ice cream/butter wrapped body fantasies. SHHEESSSH! You guys are busy!!
 
GourmetGirl said:
The token male (gay male for that matter... if it matters... which it doesn't!) in our full upline cluster pointed out just how funny it is that a song that is all about homosexuality is a song that every person (child, adult whoever!) in America knows and is the song that PC used in it's conference...

Ok Alison...you have peaked my interest now. Which song about us homos - I am one so I can say that :) is known by everyone in America. I must have missed that question in my Gay Trivial Pursuit game?!?

Everybody sing it together now....

It's fun to sell it the TPC way!

(to the tune of "YMCA") Yes, they had multiple verses... and dancers... and pulled people up on the stage from the audience....
 
They Village People were either gay or at least a gay icon type of thing, right? But was the song actually about being gay? :confused:
